How far would you go to squeeze every last frame out of a $1,000 gaming PC? With Nvidia’s RTX 50-series GPUs dropping in price, I set out to build the fastest $1K rig possible — and see what really happens when you chase maximum performance on a budget.

For those asking, here's the test bench seen in the video: geni.us/Ts5jOug

NOTE: I probably wouldn't build the PC featured in the video, even on a $1,000 budget, BUT—if you have about $1,100-1,200 usd, the parts list below is an example of a much better build—and still includes an RTX 5070! (or RX 9070, if you prefer):

AMD Ryzen 5 9600X: geni.us/d9wzk
AsRock B850M Pro A WiFi 6E: geni.us/rLX31Q
32GB Crucial Pro Series 2x16GB DDR5-6400: geni.us/62kBAMT
